Might be ****, we'd rip the piss. Might be good, we'd praise him. But with you he's in a no win situation.
I'm wondering if I should update the DOLL? I mean, it's not as if tomorrow's result is going to change anything.
Tottenham have put a £310m price tag on England striker Harry Kane with Real Madrid rumoured to be interested in the 25-year-old. (Sun) That's Levy's way of saying "on yer bike" without having to answer the phone.
Yep, always telling when a club puts a price on a player nobody has shown any interest in. It's like saying "we can talk about it if only you ask"
Explain willingly? Did he not take good money for Modric, Bale, Keane, Walker, Berba etc? Don't remember any of them just walking out for free.
The "etc" must refer only to Carrick. Each of those players left only because they told the club they wanted to leave. Ergo they were not sold willingly. In each case, Levy let the player leave after extracting huge sums from the tapping up club. It wasn't like Levy rang up United and said to Fergie, "Fancy buying any of our players?" Or do you think that is how it happened?
Every player ever sold "wanted" to go to some degree, if a player really doesn't want to go he will just sit on his contract until it expires. Most clubs don't announce a purchase price for a player they want to keep, they just say not for sale.
It makes me laugh how the spuds think transfers happen differently at their club. ‘We only sell players who have asked to leave’ Yeah okay, so the way transfers work is that the player, agent and clubs speak to each other and the player then tells his club that he wants to leave. If the fee is agreed then the player is sold. So basically the same as every other club then
Are you being obtuse on purpose ? Levy has made it clear time and time again that we don't sell any of our players. Periodically, clubs like United will tap up our players, as they did with Berbatov, Carrick, Bale, and Kane. Berbatov and Carrick both have handed in transfer requests, and forced moves away from Spurs, but not before Levy relieved United of record fees. With Bale, Levy promised him a dream move to Real, and Bale gave us one last good season before saying goodbye on good terms. Again, not before Levy extracted record fees. With Kane, the tapping up fell on deaf ears, because Kane is one of our own, and will stay at Spurs for his entire career. If there was any credibility in what you say, Kane is the acid test, because the player doesn't want to leave. So, if Levy was more interested in cash than the player, he would be touting him round all the money clubs. He isn't, and he won't. Your argument ends right there.
